Morning all, just been surfing the net when I came across a bit of info about Napoleon - after his defeat at Waterloo and his surrender to Captain Frederick Maitland of HMS Bellerophon off Rochefort in 1815, he was taken to Plymouth Sound UK where he remained on board, 26 July – 4 August, while his future was decided. This event caused a local and national sensation as thousands took to the water, here is a painting showing his holding before his departure. I think it was very interesting due to my build and also our previous past living in Plymouth over looking the Sound Harbour. Drawing off the net not mine (not quite that old lol) OC.

Fantastic to see you back on this and Brill news about the sucess with your sight, I do understand about you changing what you felt stood out on your build, we are our own punishers and critics with our own works - look at me with my re doing of the paintwork on my figures. Looking forward to seeing more now you are back in the seat. OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
